BAD DREAM, bill denbrough

xv. THE FIGHT BEGINS

Sabrina never understood why they always dropped their bikes in the middle of the street when they could easily put them on the side of the road, but they were currently throwing them in the middle at the moment.

After they all placed their bikes down, they made their way through the gate and into the yard of the well house.

"Guys, spikes." Sabrina heard Bill say, but was too busy watching her brother with a smirk when he threw his fannypack. "Go off, Eddie." She laughed.

Bill began collecting spikes and breaking them down into his backpack as Richie grabbed a bottle off the ground, breaking it against the railing. "Was that your attempt at getting a weapon?" Sabrina snorted with laughter as he broke it too much and threw the bottle, "Shut up."

The group began making their way up the porch steps, Bill and Sabrina leading. Bill placed his hand on the knob and twisted it, allowing the group to make their way inside. "Stan?" Sabrina heard the voice of Ben speak out and turned around to see Stanley standing outside of the house.

"Stan, we all have to go." Bill told him, "B-Be-Beverly was right. If we split up like last time, that clown will kill us one by one. But if we st-stick together, all of us, we'll win. I promise." Bill's speech seemed to work when Stanley stepped into the house. "You sure do have a way with words, Denbrough." Sabrina smiled over at her boyfriend as they continued their trip down to the well.

Sabrina screamed when she made it to the end of the stairs and ran into a spider web. "Stupid webs! Why do spiders even exist? They're literal demon bugs." She ranted to herself, but stopped talking when she arrived at the well, seeing the blood on the side, "Holy crap."

"Hey, Eddie, you got a quarter?" Richie asked, "I wouldn't want to make a wish in that fucking thing." He told Richie.

Sabrina smiled softly when Ben leaned over the well and yelled, "Beverly?"

"If only it were that easy, Benny." She smiled, rubbing his back softly and stepping away from the well, walking around the room slightly.

"How are we supposed to get down there?" Mike asked and as if it was perfect timing, Sabrina's eyes landed on rope. She skipped over and picked it up, holding it in her hands and showing the boys, "Will this work?" She smirked, walking back over to the well.

"That's convenient." Eddie spoke up. "How are we gonna tie it up there?" Ben pointed to the metal-like hook above the well. "I'll tie it. Just- don't let me fall and plummet to my death, please." Sabrina gave them a playful look. "I-I don't t-th-think that's a good idea." Bill spoke up as she stood on the edge of the well to reach the hook.

"I'm fine, Bill, just hold onto me please." She looked down to her boyfriend and looked away once he placed his hands on the side of her thighs to steady her, "Thanks."

Sabrina wanted to lighten the mood and pretended to slip slightly, causing all the boys to gasp and grab her quickly, "Joking." She grinned, standing straight up again. "That's so not funny." Eddie glared at his sister.

"Call me a criminal for trying to lighten the mood." She put her hands up in surrender before placing her right hand on the hook. "Could you hurry up?" Richie spoke with annoyance. "Richie, I will throw you down the well. Shut up." She glared down at him, but then proceeded to tie the rope on the hook.

She thought it was successful and took her hands off. "Someone yank it for a test." She told and Mike complied, yanking on the rope. "Perfect." He smiled at the girl. "Great." She turned her body to face Bill and gripped his hands that were on her. "Help me down, please." And with a simple nod, he grabbed her hands and helped her off the well, "Thank you." She smiled sweetly, placing a swift peck on his cheek.
